REFLECTION PAPER ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE

This is my Reflection Paper about Climate Change. To begin with, climate is a long-term
shift in temperature and weather patterns. Climate change is one of the biggest threats
that humanity is facing. Consuming too much, cutting down trees, using transportation,
and other bad things that can affect our environment are the reasons why climate
change is happening right now, in short, they are the causes of climate change.

Human activities have been the main reason why we have this problem called climate
change. Because of this, scientists have studied past climate changes to understand
the factors that can cause the planet to warm or cold. The big ones are changes in solar
energy, ocean circulation, volcanic activity, and the amount of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere. And they have each played a role at times. However, when we compare
the negative impacts, these are extremely limited, including a decrease in energy
consumption as the climate becomes warmer.

And right now, we are the ones who are suffering from climate change because we are
causing changes in the Earth’s atmosphere. Furthermore, because of climate change,
we are now experiencing overpopulation, pollution, deforestation, and other negative
effects of climate change. Other living things are suffering from climate change. Just like
animals, rising temperatures lower many species survival rates due to changes that
lead to less food, less successful reproduction, and interference with the environmental
for native wildlife.

So, for me, if this climate change keeps going, we will be the one who’ll suffer from this.
Also, I am very worried for our health not just for us humans, but for other living things
also. In the end, we will be the ones who end up suffering from our wrongdoings. If this
change keeps on going, then many species of plants and even animals will get extinct.
